phonism

phonism
   The term phonism comes from the Greek noun phonème, which means voice or sound. It is used in * synaesthesia research to denote a hallucinated sound which is triggered by a sense perception in a different sensory modality. In accordance with the sensory modality involved, phonisms are divided into categories such as olfactory or smell phonism, taste phonism, optical or light phon-ism, tactile or touch phonism, pressure phonism, kinaesthetic or movement phonism, and temperature phonism. The term phonism is used in opposition to terms such as *photism, *gustatism, and * olfactism.
